In February, the warm breath began to pour in from the south to the north, and the wilderness was full of life. He Meng and his wife Xiuhua appeared at a military wharf in Tanggu Port, Tianjin. "Look, our battleship is really mighty, with two big chimneys." Xiuhua was surprised. "Two large chimneys are not surprising, I heard that the cruiser under construction at the Mawei shipyard has 4 large chimneys. Anchored in the front berth was the USS Zhonghua, the flagship of the Pacific Fleet. "So Dai Hui is on the warship" "Yes, he came to pick me up." ”

Xiuhua said excitedly: "Madame praised Dai Hui like something, I want to see what our prospective brother-in-law looks like, so that Madame is full of praise." He Meng smiled and didn't squeak. The little princess is usually very arrogant, what kind of prince charming has subdued her, I have to check for Natsuko. "Dai Hui is now the commander of the fleet, you don't want to embarrass him too much." "You can rest assured that you will know what to do, and you won't let him lose face," Deng Xiuhua glanced at her husband, thinking that it would be too much. Not long after He Meng and Deng Xiuhua got out of the car, the escorted horse team left.

Dai Hui stood on the deck of the battleship and found He Meng and his wife, he didn't know He Meng, but He Meng's majestic general's mansion and the heroic female soldiers beside him were particularly eye-catching, and it was not difficult to guess his identity. Dai Hui took three steps and two steps from the battleship's zigzag staircase, and quickly stepped up to meet him. "Report, Dai Hui, commander of the Pacific Fleet, was ordered to come to meet Commander He. Commander He's name is like thunder, and today it seems that it is indeed worthy of its name. "Commander Dai is a young talent, and his reputation is also well-known in China, and women and children know it!" He Meng deliberately flattered. Dai Hui said politely: "Compared with the predecessors." The contemptible people are far behind, and I hope that Commander He will give more advice in the future," Dai Hui said modestly. "It seems that Sister Xia Zi has a good eye. Commander Dai really talks extraordinarily and shows talent. Xiuhua took over the conversation and ridiculed bluntly.

"It's Sister Xiuhua, I often hear Xia Zi mention you, saying that among the many sisters, she is the closest to you!" Dai Hui was a little embarrassed. Xiuhua said: "Dai Hui, Mrs. admires you very much, I saw you today, and I unanimously voted here." You're already married, when is the wedding going to happen! "The war is tense. I discussed it with Natsuko, and when I had time, I was thinking about the wedding. "You two are the chief officers of the sea route, and now you are brothers-in-law. It can be described as kissing and kissing, but you have to take care of each other! "Playing the piano and, is this what you should ask?" He Meng frowned and said dissatisfied. Xiuhua has received this there. But it was not good to attack in front of Dai Hui.

Dai Hui hurriedly said, "Commander He." Sister Xiuhua, please pedal the ship. Not long after He Meng and Xiuhua pedaled, the battleship slowly left the dock and set off. The battleship Zhonghua was in the center, accompanied by two frigates on the left and right, and white waves appeared on the sea, and the battleship formation headed straight for the port of Incheon on the Korean Peninsula. He Meng and Dai Hui stood side by side on the deck, facing the slightly chilly sea breeze, looking out towards a yellow sea. "The headquarters has asked you and me to set up a joint command, and it is very important for the joint command to communicate with each other. To put it simply, it's a communication problem. He Meng went straight to the point.

Dai Hui said with a smile: "The headquarters has developed several high-power radio transmitters, and it is estimated that they will be put into operation in May. He Meng also smiled: "The president has already told me." Install a transmitter on your flagship, a transmitter at the Busan headquarters, and an infinite transmitter in Mukden, albeit in the shiyan stage, and put it into mass production if there are no problems. ”

Dai Hui said excitedly: "If each of my warships is equipped with wireless communication transmitters, we will seize the opportunity on the sea and be absolutely in the initiative." "If each of my infantry regiments were equipped with wireless transmitters, it would be like a tiger with wings to win a battle, and its significance would be immeasurable." "The heroes see the same thing, Commander He, we think of it together." Dai Hui said with emotion. "We have all suffered the loss of news blockage, our subordinates are fighting bloodily, and as a commander, we don't know anything about the situation on the battlefield, that feeling is simply indescribable." "Yes, even more so on the sea, if the command is not effective and the communication is not smooth, a naval battle that would have been won will be aborted, and the importance of maritime wireless communication is becoming more and more urgent."

He Meng still smiled: "I hope that wireless communication jishu will be smooth and successful." According to the requirements of the headquarters, the Pacific Fleet is on standby at the port of Incheon, what is the situation at the port of Incheon? Dai Hui said: "After two years of construction, the port of Incheon has been expanded, its functions have been expanded several times, and there is no problem in berthing dozens of large warships. At present, our Pacific Fleet is concentrating on the port of Incheon. In addition, in order to ensure landing operations, I am preparing to deploy 120 attack torpedo boats, 10 submarine hunters, and 10 attack submarines in the Tsushima Strait. At present, our submarine hunters and attack torpedo boats have set up the 2nd Group. In addition, in order to prevent the enemy's fleet from threatening the Tsushima Strait from the Sea of Japan, I am preparing to place mines in the northern passage of the Tsushima Strait and completely block the northern passage of the Tsushima Strait. ”

He Meng praised: "You think very thoughtfully, as long as I land troops to eliminate the threat from the sea, I will have the confidence to land on the Japanese archipelago and capture the Japanese mainland." Aren't the Japanese worshipping Amaterasu, saying that the Mongol army was defeated by the kamikaze, I want to see if Amaterasu can protect the Japanese! "However, June is the season of frequent monsoons at sea, and the weather is good or bad, which directly affects the landing operation. In fact, the Japanese rely on storms on the sea, to put it bluntly. "I'll take it seriously, but I need your help." "That's natural." "Commander He, it's almost noon, how about we talk while eating?"

"It just so happens that the president gave me a bottle of century-old Moutai, you and I have eliminated him, we are relatives for personal reasons, so we naturally want to drink happily with each other." "I'm so embarrassed to let you pick up the wind and wash the dust, but let you take the wine." "This is easy to do, since you are embarrassed, take out your good wine!" "Where do I have a century-old Moutai!" "I'm about to become an uncle, reach out and ask for it! Where does the president have good wine? "I'm not happy with you for saying, how can I have that guts!" The two of them couldn't help but daxiao. The laughter alarmed the foraging seagulls, who flapped their wings and flew away.

Two days later, the battleship Zhonghua entered the port of Incheon, which was now densely populated with battleships. He Meng and Dai Hui stood on the deck, watching the imposing battleship. Dai Hui said: "That battleship is the Shenzhou, and that is the captured Empress." Now it is officially named Shanghai. That ship was the Beijing and the Harbin. There are still a few warships that will not be concentrated until mid-May, and they are currently being repaired at major shipyards. The four new-type warships launched at the end of last year have already been included in the newly formed Nanyang Fleet. "I said brother-in-law. Why haven't you seen the medical ship, haven't seen Natsuko in years, I miss her so much! Xiuhua couldn't help but interject.

"Sister Xiuhua, the hospital ship is currently moored in Shanghai, and the ship needs to improve some of its internal facilities, and it is estimated that it will be able to come to Incheon Port in early May. It's easy to meet on the Korean Peninsula, so I'll let you know when the time comes. "The flagship China enters the dock waters. All battleships sounded their whistles as a sign of respect. He Meng said goodbye to Dai Hui, and they were busy preparing before the war, and they all had to be busy. The two sides agreed to convene a military meeting of joint senior generals of the army and navy in Busan in early May. zuihou finalized the battle jihua.

He Meng mounted his war horse at the port of Incheon and went straight to Seoul under the escort of a company of guards. In the afternoon of the same day, they arrived at the Seoul Gate, the Governor of the Korean Peninsula, Yuan Shikai, his wife, and the ministers of the Governor's Palace. and chief of staff Wang Jie and other major generals who rushed from Busan. Meet you at the gates of the city in person. As a military general, He Meng would not meet with the Joseon Emperor without special circumstances, so the Joseon Emperor and the ministers of the Annexes did not appear in the welcoming crowd.

He Meng jumped off his horse and saluted Governor Yuan Shikai, and Yuan Shikai and his wife also stepped forward to salute and said: "Welcome General He to take office, General He is the god of war in the west, and the Russian army that fought was terrified, and it was a privilege for the Governor to have the honor to meet General He." "Lord Yuan has won the prize, since Lord Yuan became the ruler of the Korean Peninsula. The livelihood of the people on the entire peninsula is stable and prosperous, and Lord Yuan has made great contributions to his good governance. "Shame on the contemptible. I dare not forget the president's advice and high hopes. Contemptible people are not talented, Commander He succeeded as the commander of the peninsula, and it seems that the situation is about to rise again. ”

He Meng was stunned when he heard this, the operation of the headquarters to attack the Japanese mainland was highly secret, and this person's sense of smell was too sensitive. Yuan Shikai saw He Meng's grim face and explained: "General He doesn't have to worry too much, the old man is just guessing. He Meng whispered: "Lord Yuan, this speculation has not been revealed to outsiders!" "General He, rest assured, how dare the old man comment on military affairs." Then He Meng held Wang Jie's hand and said sincerely: "Chief of Staff, we will be together in the future, please give me more advice." "To tell you the truth, when we heard that you were coming to succeed us as commander, we were all overjoyed."

Wang Jie observed the famous He Meng, who had no arrogance and was very easy-going, and the trace of apprehension in his heart disappeared. Yuan Shikai invited He Meng to enter the city, and he wanted to do his best to be a landlord. During the banquet, Yuan Shikai's high opinion of the situation shocked He Meng. He had heard a lot of comments on Yuan Shikai's subtleties, but after talking with Yuan Shikai, He Meng was very shocked. It seems that the president's ability to see the stars is really clever, this gentleman is indeed talented, and it seems that many people say bad things about him, because they can't eat grapes and think that grapes are sour, and they are envious, jealous and hateful. In the future campaign, He Meng witnessed Yuan Shikai's organization and coordination skills.

Yuan Shikai really had a keen sense of smell, and after He Meng said goodbye the next day, Yuan Shikai prepared secretly. He soberly judged that He Meng's sudden succession as commander of the Korean Peninsula must have attacked Japan. Later, due to He Meng's reasons, Yuan Shikai's career was smoother. After Yuan Shikai talked with He Meng, he made a detailed analysis of He Meng and Bai Sheng, he believed that Bai Sheng was born as a grasshopper, and he was not easy to get close to, while He Meng was born in a professional class with outstanding military achievements, and he was a generalist in military and politics, and he would inevitably become a great weapon in the future, so Yuan Shikai decided to help He Meng.

February. The southern part of the Korean Peninsula has entered the rice planting season, and in the mirror-like rice fields, the North Korean people in white clothes and white pants and straw hats are plowing the fields. He Meng and Chief of Staff Wang Jie went hand in hand, Wang Jie opened the conversation box and said: "Commander He, according to the order of the headquarters, the 25 armies in the southern part of the peninsula have entered combat preparations. In accordance with operational needs, we have set up three major corps, each consisting of eight corps. Taking into account the new mode of warfare, we formed artillery columns. The artillery column consisted of 6 divisions, and after a new reorganization, the 1st and 2nd artillery divisions of the artillery column were heavy artillery divisions and were equipped with 105-mm new artillery guns, the 3rd and 4th artillery divisions were medium artillery divisions equipped with 76-mm artillery respectively, and the 5th and 6th artillery divisions were light artillery divisions with 60-mm infantry guns. ”

He Meng nodded, feeling that Chief of Staff Wang Jie had a very clear idea. Wang Jie continued: "According to the requirements of the headquarters, we have set up a reserve corps, a total of 17 corps. Five of them were located in the northern part of the peninsula, and 12 were in the country. The combat force is 1.3 million people, and the logistics force and other branches of the armed forces are 200,000 people, for a total strength of 1.5 million people. ”“haha！ Chief of Staff, commanding a million-strong division, this is the first time for me, and I feel that the burden on my body is very heavy. "The commander's military talent is obvious to all, commanding a large corps to fight, why should the commander worry,"

He Meng sighed and said, "It has been 18 years since the army was raised in Annan. After 18 years of war, even in those difficult days in Xinjiang, I did not feel much pressure. Chief of Staff, I can't hide it, this time I really don't know the bottom of my heart, especially the joint operation of the land and the navy, this new mode of operation, we are very unfamiliar with it. As a matter of fact, the purpose of the President's attack on Japan was to plot against the American continent, and I am worried about whether the President's strategic vision will be successfully accomplished.
